Abstract

The objectives of this community service activity were conducted through socialization and training, including (1) enhancing the utilization of agricultural waste such as rice husks into biochar and (2) training on biochar production and its application on land. These activities used the Service Learning (SL) method and involved the community, especially students, as the primary target. The activities were conducted in the Greenhouse by all of the Agroecotechnology Study Program students in the class of 2022 at Universitas Sulawesi Barat. In this community service, students who had studied biochar production explained the process and benefits of biochar based on the materials they learned during lectures. The participants were very enthusiastic about these activities, proved by their statements that they understood the material presented by the speakers.

Abstract

High evaporation in coastal areas leads to salt accumulation in the soil, elevating soil salinity. Tomato plants (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) are one of the ideal plants for evaluating saline soil amelioration strategies. Inadequate saline soil treatment is an obstacle for farmers in developing their agricultural practices. Therefore, saline soil remediation using biochar was conducted to reduce soil salinity levels. The study was conducted using a non- factorial randomized block design (RBD) with 4 replications and 4 treatments, namely B0 (control), B1 (50 grams of biochar), B2 (100 grams of biochar), and B3 (150 grams of biochar) with observation parameters of plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, and number of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AMF) spores. The results of this study showed that biochar had no significant effect on plant growth and the number of spores in tomato roots. Therefore, based on the study's results, the use of biochar in tomato growing media did not significantly affect plant growth parameters or the number of AMF spores in the growing media. Various factors, including environmental conditions and interactions between the growing media and host plants, may influence this. Recommended that further research be conducted on the process of producing biochar using anaerobic pyrolysis or closed pyrolysis methods. This is important because anaerobic combustion can produce more stable biochar.
